Hi
Maxi dresses are difficult for ******* girls to wear I find , I bought two a few years ago , I was a size 10 with a 32E cup and it made me look huge! Just hung from my chest down. The 2nd one was nicer and it was nipped in under the chest and around the hips , I'd recommend that shape or a plunge neck shape and a cropped denim jacket as the other girl said , or a cardigan . Penny's I find useless , if you ard going to get one go to dorethy Perkins , new look, next , Asos , littlewoods , these sites all have a good selection of different shape maxis and they all do plus size. Hope that helps. Oooohh and if u plan on wearing it without a cardi wear a strapless bra ... There's nothing worse!
